Not 100% sure if this should go in bug or ux, my apologies if I post in the wrong place.
I opened this link New search operator "not" for tags only - #2 by jomaxro and noticed that a broken thumbnail can cause an annoying issue (tested on Chrome and Edge). A large, broken image. Also you can’t select text or select links under it.
It looks like it might have something to do with our lazyloaded images… it has the correct positioning applied inline (looks like this is all from lazy-load-images.js.es6),
position: absolute;
top: 82px;
left: 28px;
but the width and height are out of whack at
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
I just tried the “rebuild html” option on that post and that corrected it. That post predated our lazyload feature, so I wonder if it was just a fluke when we rebuilt all the posts after that feature was added?
Oh I spoke too soon, now it’s broken in a different way… and it just fixed itself again. Something a bit odd is going on… if I do a hard refresh I will temporarily see the huge image…
